Rodgers Signing with Black n’ Gold

Lazard is a WR3 if that. He shouldn't cost more than a 6th-round pick unless they overpay. I'd much rather have someone who is closer to a WR2 than a WR4.

The original number bantered was 10. That's double. I agree this aint getting Tomlin out. But its a huge step. Fonzie is jumping the shark here.

Where did you hear the Steelers offered 10M?

He said he would sign for 10M and that money wasn't the issue. That doesn't mean he would play for Anyone for that price.

Now you offer him a championship roster and warm weather and he might even play for 5M

Puts us back to square one.
We weren’t going to no Super Bowl. I wanted a washed up Ben to retire at least a year before he did so that we could begin the process of finding our next quarterback.
I can feel it again. Now we have another washed up quarterback with a big ego who will hang around a year or two and we will have nothing to show for it.

2019 they couldn’t risk a losing season so traded a 1st rounder for Minkah, passing on Hurts in 2020 for an “impact player”, 2021 Ben stayed a year too long, now two straight years of over the hill QBs, for what? To avoid losing seasons? Do they REALLY think they can compete for a championship in a loaded AFC by sneaking in with a flawed team?

If the playoffs were not expanded to 7 teams, the Steelers would have 2 playoff appearances in the past 7 seasons.

They’ve been furiously adding crutches, wheelchairs, and walkers to avoid surgery to repair a broken leg. Just bite the bullet and start the rebuild.

This feels like a stupid move, IMO. Not liking this.

That being said, as soon as that ink is on the contract, GO ROGERS!
[/QUOTEwxactlt how I feel. Don't want it. Didn't want it but will cheer him on

well, at worst, it gives Howard a HOF QB to learn from during his first season.
How much could he really get from Mason?

On the bright side:

Looking at Rodgers' numbers from 2024, over his last 10 games: 210-328 for 2234 yards, 18 TDs and 4 INTs, for a 97 passer rating. They're actually pretty good, and they include an absolutely horrific game in week 17 at Buffalo where he threw for only 112 yards with 2 picks.

It's not like Rodgers fell off a cliff later in the season due to his age, or his health, etc. In six of those ten games, he had a rating of 104 or better. He played very well most of the time, while surrounded by a shltty team.

Jets receivers also led the league it dropped passes.
 
Now how much will Tomlin handcuff the offense is the real question? Wilson had a great game vs Cincy, and Tomlin put a stop to that kind of offense the following week, hell the second game vs Cincy and their pathetic defense our offense was pedestrian, Wilson ended up with 31 attempts, but 20 of those came in the 4th qtr when were down by double digits.
 
Trying to keep the mood positive.....I want him to have an influence over the WR/other targets room. Why not? I am not saying let him run the show, but show him who could be a possibility. We know if he likes them, he will throw to them, and we know he is only here for 1 year. You know, if people want to ***** about him, or Mr. T, Mr. R......there are a lot of other threads available for that. It opens the door to positive, forward thinking...
 
Well three things here…. Between Rodgers advanced age and declining skills, holes in this current roster, and Tomlin’s interference and decision making,what could go wrong?
As a life long Steeler fan I hope it all comes together and works out but I’ve set my expectations rather low.
 
The Jets fans in NY are already crowing about throwing Rodgers a beating in week 1. They blame him for the suckdom the Jets have enjoyed the over the last 10 years.....
 
He will likely get hurt early in the season. They will go at him hard.

I don't think he has much effectiveness left.

At his advanced age I doubt he wants to teach any qb or wr anything. He wants a paycheck. That's all.
 
How much did he end up
signing for?

Edit under 20 mill

I’m telling you, that’s Coolie’s way of saying he likes you.
I guess they never told you about our rules here for posting new threads.

The Mike Vick addition looks marvelous in comparison.

Lloyd, sorry. I worded that poorly. What I meant was eventhough AR waited 3 years at the start of his career while Brett Favre played that doesn’t help you now with your age. You are still 41 soon to be 42 NOT 38( 41-38) as the one poster seemed to imply.
